Alexander Mcqueen goes Welsh
“We went to Wales and were inspired by the warmth of its artistic and poetic heritage,” said designer Sarah Burton of her fall show.
The McQueen studio thus went to the least-explored country in the United Kingdom, in fashion terms, and came back with a motley assortment of fascinating and little-known references — and rich in check.
A wool cashmere coat with blown-up black check and tight buckled belt, was inspired by the traditional Welsh blankets woven from the fleece of black sheep. A black leather bodice draped in a lilac and black check was spawned from the idea of a Welsh unisex shawl, that was known for its warmth and its capacity to carry children inside.
Meanwhile, an aggressive-looking square-shouldered suit was made of patchwork and embroidered with patterns of doves, a panther, a horse and a leak — the latter the symbol of Wales.
This look was inspired by a quilt at the National Museum of Wales.
